anyone making REAL money with any systems on this forum??

The short answer to your question is YES. To know more about my live trading experience visit my journal. To learn more about my system click here. It is a mechanical trading system though.

FB,

Your question was valid: Are people making money with the systems on this forum?

Your supposition, however: "I don't think that most are" COULD be construed as a challenge, and by some, rude. I, personally, didn't take it that way, but I could see how some people might.

OK, so to answer your question, there are people on here that are making money with systems from this forum, however I would venture to say that this forum has many more traders making money from systems that are either inspired by, or take ideas from systems on this forum.

If you're looking for a canned money-making system, I don't think you'll be able to find it here. A lot of the systems here, while presenting "rules", are often profitable on a discretionary basis.

Secondly, you didn't qualify your question about what defines your idea of success. For some people that would be a certain # of pips. For some people that would be a certain amount of $. Someone dropped that he made 8% in 2 months using a combo system here. Is that a valid winner? Could be. For some, maybe not.

Me personally, I don't make the majority of my money from Forex. In fact, it's a pretty small percentage. I have about 6 accounts of various sizes all doing different things. I only dabble in the forex as part of a diversified portfolio of investments. All of the money I put in here is throw-away money, but it has been a rewarding experience. If I didn't like my job so much, I could probably make a living as a trader.

My main focus is making as much profit as possible with the least amount of effort.

My current success was inspired by a hedging system here. I have made 8.7% on my largest account in 50 days and I've put in a grand total of 2 orders on the USD/JPY. All this while only having to check on the account once a day. For me, this is a huge success because I spend 1 minute a day ensuring that the price is within my boundaries. Sure beats trying to pick stocks in the stock market.

I hope this answers your question to your satisfaction.

Sorry Fxbabe. U misunderstood me. I didnt think you are rude. Infact, i was trying to help you understand thru my perspective. I was just saying, people dont really talk about it even tho success in forex is real.

Success is discipline. Discipline is not trading system. Your quest and question is like waiting for snow in sahara. You are looking at the wrong place. Success in Forex is REAL and the only way to experience it is by thinking it can be done. Success starts from you, your thinking, your action and your discipline.

There are many good stuff here in FF, but it all depends on how you use it. To use it effectively, u need 1st to believe and act on it. Its a trillion a day industry. Of course, people make money. In my thread, almost everyday, people post they are making pips. I make disipline simple by introducing simple method.

Their are some valid methods on this forum. The challenging part is implementing them in the correct market environment. I like to use a combination of strategies and indicators that keep up with the newest market trends. No system is full proof, but adjusting to new obstacles in the market is paramount to your success.

I spend too much time reading too many threads on this and other forums, I wind up trying too many different systems in my opinion. I guess I am always trying to find better systems which are more profitable than the other. The best I can say is to learn two systems for trending markets, and one for ranging markets. Like I had said previously in another post, what may work for others may not work for everyone else. It all depends how you use it, and make it work for you. I see some strategies that combine indicators from different systems before a trade is taken.
